What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Ultrasonographic evaluation of the adrenal glands is a valuable tool for detecting structural abnormalities during clinical assessment. However, no species-specific sonographic reference values have been established for Korean raccoon dogs ( Methods: Sagittal ultrasonographic images from 38 clinically healthy Korean raccoon dogs were retrospectively analyzed. Adrenal length and cranial and caudal pole heights were measured bilaterally, with each parameter obtained three times per gland and the median value used for analysis. Gland morphology and corticomedullary distinction were visually assessed, and statistical tests were performed to evaluate differences by sex, body weight, and laterality. Results: All adrenal glands were clearly visualized without sedation and consistently exhibited a peanut-shaped morphology. Mean adrenal lengths were 14.12 ± 2.25 mm on the left and 14.33 ± 1.97 mm on the right. Cranial and caudal pole heights were 3.10 ± 0.44 and 3.26 ± 0.33 mm, respectively, on the left, and 3.19 ± 0.61 and 3.50 ± 0.52 mm, respectively, on the right. Within each gland, the caudal pole was significantly greater in height than the cranial pole. In addition, the right caudal pole height was significantly greater than the left ( Conclusion: This study provides species-specific ultrasonographic reference values for Korean raccoon dogs, supporting improved interpretation in clinical and conservation medicine.
